Photo Gallery: What 50 Looks Like

These people in their 50s tell you why they're happy in their own skin

Lisa Washington, 51

Washington, D.C.
Speech pathologist

"Turning 50 was quite a shock for me. I come from a family that believes in seeking the fountain of youth, and I'm not old yet! So I tried a little Botox around the forehead and a little Restylane around the smile zone. When I looked in the mirror, I thought, 'Okay, I've got a few more years of being 49.' It's something I'd do again. I want to carry a comfortable presence about myself, and if that means a little embellishment, it's fine." — Photo by Ben Baker
